[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like your dad is saying he wants to cut all ties and end his relationship with your son over this, just more like your dad is saying he doesn't think week long visits are fun/productive for either party at this point. Hearing the back story, yes he said your son was rude and disengaged, but it also sounds like your dad just feels like the visits aren't fun or interesting for your son anymore. If you have a house guest who just wants to sleep and play on the phone it doesn't seem like a worth while visit for either party. Also, IME 11 is pretty young for a child to have a phone without any limits. I'd start to think about having the phone plugged in a common area for certain hours of the day- and let anyone he stays with for extended periods of time know this is also the expectation. You also may need to review other phone etiquette and talk about why... no-one wants to hang out with someone who is always on their phone and disengaged.[/quote]
